Data Caveats:

South Africa's latest semi-annual report to the WTO shows an AD imposition on ZAF-AD-285. However, as of October 2009 the South African government website shows a final affirmative decision but also its withdrawal at a later date.

Korea's latest semi-annual report shows AD measures on KOR-AD-139 and KOR-AD-140. However, as of October 2009 there is no updated information to reflect this on the Korean government website.

Detailed raw data through 2008 (and for most, also through 2Q 2009) for twenty-five antidumping-using countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, EU, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, USA, and Venezuela). According to data from the WTO, for all member economies that still “control” use of their own trade policies in 2009 – i.e., subtracting out newly acceded member states to the EC that used AD prior to their EC accession - these 25 Members initiated 93% all antidumping investigations by the WTO membership during 1995-2008, and include 23 of the 25 most frequent users. (Missing from the top 25 are #14 Egypt and #20 Israel.)

We also have detailed data through 2Q 2009 for twelve countervailing duty-using countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, European Union, India, Mexico, Turkey, United States), in addition to all global safeguards and China-specific safeguards notifications that have made been to the WTO.

Detailed data through 2008 (and into 1Q 2009) for fifteen antidumping-using countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, European Union, India, Mexico, New Zealand, Pakistan, Peru, Taiwan, Turkey, United States, and South Africa) and seven countervailing duty-using countries (Australia, Canada, European Union, India, Mexico, Turkey, United States), in addition to all safeguards and China-specific safeguards notifications that have made been to the WTO.
